"Multiple studies have addressed the mechanisms by which ultraviolet (UV) light induces cell death, and a few have focused on stress mediators such as acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) or protein kinase C delta (PKC delta). Based on a recent study that identified a novel mechanism of activation of ASMase through phosphorylation (1), the current study was undertaken to determine the upstream mechanisms regulating ASMase in response to UV and to investigate the role of ASMase and its phosphorylation at S508 as an integral event during UV light-induced cell death," scientists in the United States report. "Exposure of MCF-7 breast cancer cells to UV light type C (UVC)...
